*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace FC ***

[MKSpur]

It’s Sanchez’s man Toby was marking Ayew. Moura had had such a good game with his pressing but his lack of nous cost us the situation, ditto winks with the stupid free kick. It’s so frustrating but we do have a crop of players who we seem to need to get away with playing every now again.

Watching back, it's clear that Sanchez was at fault rather than Toby. Maybe Toby/Hugo should have shouted for Benteke to be followed, but, yes, Toby was initially on the other forward and Sanchez allowed his man to drift

Yup, Sanchez just walks away from Benteke leaving him unmarked. These mistakes show repeatedly that we have nobody shouting in the back line for players to mark their man

Having watched the replay, I agree it was Sanchez who should have been tighter to Benteke. Toby should have shouted that to him though as he should see the danger from his position.

Just had to see out the last few seconds of first half FFS!

We don’t have a leader in that defence
It’s woeful

Hopefully Lo Celso isn't far off returning so we have a proper option in midfield to give Tanguy a rest.

thats a very good point. He's meant to have a chance of being back on Thurs. Would be a massive lift to have GLC back

A half-time rocket from Jose and lets come out second half and get back in front again

 

[Bedfordspurs]

I take it back
Toby actually jumped with him

 

[StephenH]

Oh dear Zaha!

this going to get tougher

Our Captain is the goalie, but you really would not know it, he does not seem to command the area, let alone skipper the team

And here comes Zaha now. We have to score next

 

[Hotshot-Tottenham]

Zaha on

Yeah let’s not let heads drop we’d been great for 44 minutes !

 

[fernadez]

On another note Winks....I love you mate, but this is Mark Noble levels.

 

[JerusalemMan]

Quite glad that Eze and Zaha aren't both on.
Bad enough thinking of Zaha being instructed to target Doherty

I think defending seems to be alot easier on here. Sanchez has to be wary of the player crossing actually taking on Doherty and going past him, Sanchez would be the next line of defence. Toby should take Benteke and Reggie should then take Toby’s man.

If he's covering Benteke then he's in a good position to close the man if he beats ours.

That's not the danger at that point though, it's the cross. He has to deal with the current danger and worry about what may happen if it does.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Nailed on he gets a late winner now

Those were the days...

Zaha vs Doherty

Sanchez is just standing there, he’s not doing anything -

Toby can’t leave Townsend completely free at the back post.

by the time they all move over the ball would have been crossed.
